South Korean President Moon Jae-in met with Chinese Vice Premier Liu Yandong Monday and said that the United States should lower the threshold for dialogue with North Korea and North Korea also should show its willingness to denuclearize. President Moon went on to say that it is important that the United States and North Korea sit down for talks as soon as possible, urging the United States to lower its demand for talks when North Korea has shown willingness to talk with the United States.

At the meeting held at the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae, Moon said, “It is very important to keep the dialogue momentum going after the Olympics.”
